Culinary Art...the first bite


Chopping and slicing, stirring, turning up the heat, back to chopping vegitables as they grace the chopping board with their nutritionious juices, sliced to tiny pieces for perfect steaming and simmering. And a reward for my wonderful labour, a sensetional smell materialises from the cooking cabinet of heated mixation, which is greeted my by a smile as it tickles my nostrils igniting my teste buds, the joy of cooking fully realised.


The truth is that when I was growing up i never used to like cooking, of course I already knew how to cook because I was the only kid staying with my mom. But back then the art cooking to me was unenjoyable, I use to take it as forced labour that can only be maintained or endured by women because they have such strong statutes. This mentality stuck on me throughout my high school years, then came the biggest challenge, varsity life. At first, having to cook daily was not ideal at all, and as a result I would perform undesirable culinary acts. That all changed when I stepped on the humble groungs of the valley of wisdom - His People Church(Westvillage).


As took a sip of the cup of wisdom form this valley, I received a new ignited passion for this art. Over the years, drinking from this valley has taught me that an impressive man is impressive on all the spheres of his life. And being a man of God and all, you know how impressive David, Solomon and Jesus Christ were impressive on other they did besides their ministries. I would admit though, it hasn't been a walk in the park, finding and learning recipes, from bad food days to good food days, getting it wrong on first attempts to getting it right. Truly, cooking is an art, it takes correct pricition, intuition and good imagination. The only problem is that men take cooking as a boring uncool task, but it's more than that. Painting such portraits of fine exquisite taste can really change your world and even draw you close to ur wife or future wife in my case. Who knows probably this could be new hobby. I know, for one, that I've discouvered intimacy with God on the cooking table......on this day of the 17th of July 2010
